Robot vacuums can take the hassle out of keeping your carpets clean, especially if you find yourself vacuuming frequently due to pet hair. If you’ve been thinking about investing in a robot vacuum for your home, now’s a great time to finally take the plunge. iRobot’s Roomba Essential is now heavily discounted with an early Amazon Prime Day deal . This entry-level robot vacuum is a solid budget option that can suck up dirt and debris from around your home and help you check one chore off your to-do list. The best part is that Amazon has just marked it down to a new record low price of $160— a savings of $90.
As well as an impressive 120-minute battery life, you can also programme this vacuum to activate when you leave your home, meaning you don’t even have to worry about the noise. It uses a three-stage cleaning system to ensure your carpets and hard floors are free of dirt, and it’s easy to set everything up in the Roomba app. You can also control it via Alexa.

While it doesn’t have lidar-powered object detection like more expensive models, it can navigate around furniture and automatically clean in neat lines, ensuring no spots get missed. It can also navigate itself back to its charging station when the battery runs low, so you don’t have to worry about recharging between cleanings. It’s certainly not flashy, but not everyone wants to spend $500 or more on a robot vacuum to keep their home clean. At just $160, it offers an excellent value for those looking for a basic robot vacuum.
